| Lunch Box 579: Snails |
[Jul. 21st, 2008|08:57 pm] |
 Molluscs for lunch today! But not my usual molluscs (octopus and squid). Today I have periwinkles with garlic butter, the periwinkles being the odd bits at the lower left and the garlic butter being in the blue-lidded container next to 'em. Above that I have edamame and baked Japanese sweet potato. To the side, some more of my weird, frozen-and-thawed marinated, stir-fried tofu; and finally some blue country cornbread.

| Lunch Box 574: Pseudo-escargot |
[Jun. 26th, 2008|09:30 pm] |
 When I go to an Asian market I try to find at least one thing each trip that I've never tried before. This time around I came home with a bag of frozen periwinkles. Winkles, a kind of snail, are commonly eaten in Britain and Ireland, but I've never seen them here. So, I guessed that they'd go well with garlic butter, and simmered them at a low temperature in just that. The result: escargot-like garlic butter periwinkles. Then there's edamame, zucchini & onion stir-fry, mushroom turnovers, and cherries. Can you tell I bought a BIG bag of cherries?
